Built for Explorers, Built on Kauai
Kai isn't owned by some big corporation or travel agency pushing affiliate deals. She was born on a couch in Kapaa with a laptop and some pretty good tech. All the waves missed while wiring her up is totally worth it if she can help one person have a better trip.
Whether you're planning your first visit or you're a regular island hopper, Kai's here to help you explore smarter and experience the real Hawaii.
